Digital Architecture

In this architecture, the data is collected from connected products either directly over Ethernet or via gateways (such as the EcoStruxure Panel Server). This data is then recorded and processed by the Edge Control software (EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation) for on-premise visualization, analysis, and reporting.

Other utility consumption inputs (WAGES) can also be directly acquired via Ethernet, via serial communication, or through hardwired signals from basic meters and sensors.

To include other process or equipment related data in the analyses, OPC or ETL can be used to acquire data from external process or building management software.

As an option, data from EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation can be passed on to the EcoStruxure Power Advisor platform and analyzed by experts as part of the EcoStruxure Service Plan.

The recommended digital architecture for the application is shown below:
